My latest project!

It took me FOREVER... but I finally finished!! A couple of months ago we got a FREE table and chairs from a few people my parents know... but they needed some help. The table was in good condition, but the chairs were nothing short of UGLY!! So my mom helped me get material and the plastic to cover the chairs. I slowly got them done and now I LOVE them! They are a little wiggly. But they will work for what we need them for!! Here are some before and after pics:

The table and chairs we had before, mismatching chairs and an old table. Here are three of the chairs BEFORE:

And last but not least my new table and chairs!!

Better late than never!! Our 4th of July

I haven't been to the parade in probably 10+ years. My family usually goes camping for the 4th. Andy had to work and we were going to be in town I thought Kyler would like it... which he did!! He had so much fun waving his flag and eating all the treats he got!! Here are a few pics:

After Andy got off work we went to a BBQ and headed in for the fireworks... we ended up in Civitan park, with a pretty good spot!

Uh oh... we've got a climber.

Kyler is getting to be quite mischevious!! Yesterday I heard Kyler playing in his room when he was supposed to be going to sleep. I went to check on him after it had quieted down and this is what I found.....
all the contents from Kyler's drawers on his bed. and he was on the top bunk!How can you get mad at that???

Kyler's first trip to the ZOO!!

I know its kindof sad the poor boy has never been to the zoo. My mother in law wanted us to all go to the zoo with all the grandkids. It was so fun!! Kyler had a ball!! There were "puppies" everywhere. The people who were in front of us were getting a kick out of him calling to the goats, lions and everything else and refering to them as puppies. It was Thursday so Grayson got to go with us! My neice Allyson loved pushing him around in the stroller. However it was a very HOT day! I thought by the end of the day I was sure I was melting.

Kyler and Tymika with their hats grandma brought for them all to make. It didn't stay on very long. Waiting to see the baby camel eat a giant bottle. They never came though. Kyler and Allyson sitting on the rooster. Venice, Cosette, and KendallKyler getting very tired! It was an hour past his nap time. ROUGH!!

A nice escape from this heat!!

This last week we went with my family to go to Blacktail boating. It would have been even more fun if I wouldn't have gotten sick! My grandpa was pulling Andy and my cousin Chad on the tube on the way to find a dock and making it really fun for them.... not so fun for me. After that I stayed on the dock until we left. lol! Hopefully next time I won't be such a party pooper!! Here are some pictures of the event!Andy and Chad tubing! I had Debbie take the picture I was afraid to look anywhere but the front of the boat!! lol!
Kyler sitting on Aunt Debbie's lap. She is my Mom's sister. Kyler isn't so thrilled with his life jacket!
Bryn, Ky and Emry getting ready to go tubin' with Grandpa Rod.

He's a natural! Andy said that just about bounced out of the tube!! Kyler had a blast!!

Serious nesting issues!!

I think I may be driving my husband crazy!! He is being so sweet though and following my every whim... well for the most part, he's trying to keep me sane I think! lol. I have been going crazy in my house thinking that I need to get everything ready now for this baby... when he isn't due to arrive for about 10 more weeks.

Here is what I have been up to... and I'm still not finished. I haven't started the baby's room yet. But... don't fret I am working on it!! lol!

Kyler's new room is finally finished!! He has been sleeping in his new bed this last week. It has been quite the struggle. But we are getting there... slowly!

We moved our entertainment center down stairs... so now there is a huge empty space i'm trying to fill with only one couch... luckily my one couch is a sectional.... a very unique sectional. The basement. We got a HUGE peice of carpet from my parents and a couch from my sister and we've made it partially liveable. Andy has hooked our entertainment area up with surround sound and both of the OLD gaming systems we have... I also had him set up a bed just in case upstairs gets too hot... I'll have somewhere to sleep where it isn't so hot!!We moved our computer downstairs along with all ky's toys. It has been so nice having the basment for the toys and everything. My upstairs actually stays somewhat clean. I LOVE IT!

Our storage room is finally finished! It is a little crowded, but I am loving the space.

Memorial Weekend!!

Sorry I am so slow! It was such a fun weekend. Kyler & I went camping up to Henry's Lake by Island Park from Friday morning until Monday afternoon. Andy had to work most of the weekend, He finally joined us Sunday night after he got off work. We missed him, but tried to have fun! Here are a few pics from our first camping trip of the season!

This was our happening' camp! We had My mom & Dad in their fifth wheel, SueAnn and Trent in their new fifth wheel, Trent's brother and his wife in their camper, I was borrowing my parent's motor home, and Angie and Brady were in a tent! and Poor Andy (my parents dog) had to sleep outside with all the scary animals -- He's a very pampered dog!

However pampered Andy the dog may be... he is still such a good dog to the little kids. He lets them pull on his ears and sit on him, even ride him... if they can manage to stay on... which is never! But that doesn't mean that they don't try! Kyler loves dogs so much. That is one of his favorite words! Every animal he sees he points and says "PUPPY!!" We are working on it!! He says "tow" for cow... but its a puppy first! lol!

And just so you all know.... My parents got Andy before Andy & I started dating... and his parents have a dog named Missy, that they have had for years!. So it's fair. lol!!

Emry, Kyler, Brynly & Angie on the four wheeler! Kyler LOVED going for rides! Luckily he had Ang to take him!

Kyler trying to figure out the four wheeler so he could ride it himself I guess. He did figure out how to get the keys out of it. Luckily they weren't lost!

Kyler ended up being my bed buddy.... even though he took up most of the bed! He had a nightmare one night and I was so tired, I couldn't just hold him... so into my bed he went... which he has NEVER actually slept in our bed before. So it was a little bit of an adventure. But he kept me warm! lol!

Emry & Kyler riding their bikes together. One of the few times they weren't fighting over something!! They both like to have what the other one has! Occasionally they play together really well!!

Kyler even got chased by the truck! The guys are all coming back from Fishing. They did pretty good too!! We had quite the fish fry on Saturday night and again last night from all the fish they caught!!

Here is one of the lucky fisherman!! He caught a nice big fish on Monday! He wasn't very excited about taking a picture!

Grandpa helping Kyler ride Bryn's bike without training wheels. He can't even reach peddles but as long as Grandpa held the back Ky would steer straight and turn when needed or told to. He thought he was somthin else! If you look at kyler's face in the last picture you'll see just that! He thinks he is so big!!

After gettin back from camping we thought maybe we'd start working on getting kyler in a big bed. So since we had a little time we went to the store and found the rail for his new bed. When we got home and he was ready for bed he crawled up in that bed and laid down. So we put the guard together and decided to let him try. And here he is the next morning. YAY!! Maybe it won't be so bad. Our computer is still in his new room so we have to wait a little bit to let him fall asleep in there. But the day is soon approaching! We wanted to give him a couple of months to get used to sleeping in that bed before his little brother enters his little life. Now we are just hoping he likes his brother! :)

This was actually a few weeks ago. Kyler's really bad day! We took him to the doctor because he was running a high fever, they poked and prodded him and found nothing wrong. So they sent us packing to watch him for a few days. When we got home from the Dr's office he was eating his lunch when he tipped his chair over backward and bit his tongue. You can barely see it, but there is a bump on his tongue you can see. This I think was the next day... He bit a whole through his tongue.
